Super excited, top choice. Lower undergrad GPA, undergrad research plus 2 years postbac research, 6 publications. No GRE. 6a/3w/2r

I'm in actual shock right now...expecting to wake up at some point. I didn't have the best GPA from undergrad (over 3.0). Over a decade of work experience, I speak multiple language and have an associates in my second language with a 3.8+ GPA from my second degree). Have fellowships in the UK and worked in the Middle East and Central America. I had top notch letters of recommendation all from PhDs or Agency executives (The ones that get driven around with personal assistants). I spent months working on my Statement of Purpose (actually cried over writing that thing). Good Luck to all applicants! I'm gonna go live this moment now!

Okay GPA, 5 years of research experience (2 UG + 3 postgrad), 3 pubs + 2 ongoing, interviews went really well and I enjoyed to the fullest. Super thrilled!

Current undergrad, no pubs, 3 yrs of research exp
